‘Its ‘Bout to Be Some Drama’: Masika Kalysha Reignites Rumors of a Relationship with Gervonta Davis After She Questions His Solidarity

It looks like relationship rumors surrounding “Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta” star Masika Kalysha and Gervonta Davis could have some truth to them.

Last month, Davis’ ex-girlfriend, Dretta Starr, accused the professional boxer of cheating on his off-and-on girlfriend Ari Fletcher with Kalysha. The 34-yar-old model, however, slapped down Starr’s accusations and claimed she was lying.

Kalysha, however, recently re-ignited the rumors about her and Davis after sending him a cryptic tweet this week. Wednesday morning, the 24-year-old boxer wrote on his Twitter, “Stay solid through any situation…,” to which Kalysha retweeted, “Great advise but When u gonna start 🤷🏽😂”

It was unclear what the “GUHHATL” star was referring to, but fans made quite a bit of assumptions.

“Oh year he definitely hit that 😭😭 Masika checked into him like that was her man doe 😂”

“They fkn? I thought it wasn’t her he was with? Get the popcorn… What’s the beef sis ? 😶 tell us!”

“Messing with somebody man but cant spell.. girl get on. Ari come get her sis”

“I thought they wasn’t sleepin round whewww chile its bout to be some drama. And she spelled advice wrong 🤦”

The drama surrounding Kalysha and her alleged boo started when Starr claimed she helped Davis sneak the model out of his hotel room before his girlfriend Fletcher arrived.

“Me and my baby daddy good,” wrote via Instagram on September 16. “I just helped him rush a whole different b–ch out of the city before Ari got here today.”

Kalysha called Starr out on her supposed lies and tweeted, “They do anything for clout… They do anything for clout… bitches is mad bitches is trash… ooooooppp Oscar the grouch!” She added, “Y lie on another woman for attention?”

Davis hasn’t directly addressed Kalysha’s tweet, but he did write the same day in a now-deleted tweet, “Mommy gotta chill.”

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
